Biodiversity indices

Figure 2.29: Biodiversity indices (bottom left) such as ACE or Shannon are computed for the currently selected visualization group.

The visualization module features another component used to display commonly used biodiversity indices, such as the ACE, Shannon [Spellerberg and Fedor, 2003], Chao1 [Hughes et al., 2002] and Simpson [Simpson, 1949] indices. The component will automatically show the index values for the currently selected visualization group based on the chosen attribute type (2.29).
